10 Most Corrupt Countries in the World

Bangalore: Corruption is a big problem across the world and here are 10 most corrupt countries in the world that The Daily Beast named. Surprisingly India hasn’t made it to the list.

1. Uzbekistan:

Topping the corruption list is Uzbekistan. It is one of the fastest growing countries in Central Asia. Its economy relies mainly on production of cotton, gold, uranium, potassium, natural gas and petroleum. However, corruption and bureaucracy remains a major hurdle for further expansion. In spite of strong GDP growth rates, more than 40 percent of the population lives below poverty line.

The Corruption Index of Uzbekistan is 89.6 out of 100. On other factors, out of a total of 10 the rating is as follows-Public Perception of Corruption is 8.4, the Corruption of the Press is 9.4, Political Rights Corruption and Civil Liberties Corruption is 10 each and Business Disclosure Opacity is 7.

2. Eritrea:

Eritrea ranks second on the world’s most corrupt country list. It is a small economy in the Horn of Africa. Its output is based on subsistence agriculture, with 80 percent of the population involved in farming and herding. The economy is dependent on worker remittances from abroad which constitute more than 30 percent of GDP. Yet pervasive corruption continues to erode the foundations of economic freedom.

Eritrea has a Corruption Index of 87.8 out of 100.Its Public Perception of Corruption is rated 7.5, Corruption of the Press is 9.4, Political Rights Corruption and Civil Liberties Corruption is 10 each and Business Disclosure Opacity is 7.

I don’t agree with you, because the private sector cheated public, not the government, all the cheaters are in jail for long time, probably will die in Jail. In India, Politicians are the most corrupted people. Before Britishers looted India, Now the Govt. and Politician's are robbing the country.

Well these western countries are so corrupt that they can or actually have courrupted this list of most corrupt countries. How can Afganistan be corrupt, they don't have anything to be so. Americans are now corrupting them same way as britishers have corrupted Indians.

It is hard to believe this survey report. The level of corruption must be inversely proportionate to the development of the country.In India, except Gujarat, all states have highest level of corruption and the development is very very poor compared to any other country. I am sure India must top the chart; if not in any field; at least in corruption India beats any other country.

I am fully agree with u and suggest to the one who think that india is the top in corruption then why not he leave india. why he suffer to live in india.Though your negative thinking is your personal view but no need to reveal at public. My asking this question who pessimistic about nation what u are doing to curb corruption?

How have you missed out India. We have stalwarts such as Mr. Kalmadi, A Raja, Kanimozi, Yediyurappa, Reddy bandhu and many more who have done sterling work. Their efforts must be acknowledged by giving a place to India in the top ten.
